#resident lover mia winters

[meiquimesuei]

Take a minute to guess who decided to draw this girlfailure after a long absense here and oddly found comfort from her after playing Miranda's route. 🤭

[thegoodending-thelasttime]

"mia's a girlfailure" "donna's so girlfail"

WHAT. ABOUT. MC? MC WHO'S SO DISTRACTED BY BELA THEY NOT ONLY TRIP AND FALL, BUT DRAG THE STUDENT COUNCIL'S TABLECLOTH DOWN WITH THEM? MC WHOSE FIRST WORDS TO BELA ARE THAT THEY'VE FALLEN FOR HER? MC WHO ACCIDENTALLY SAYS DANI'S ABS CAN ASK THEM FOR A FAVOUR ANY TIME? MC WHO AGREES TO ANGIE'S TRIPLE DOG DARE TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN THE THEATER EVEN AFTER EXPRESSING HOW IMMATURE IT'D BE TO GET BAITED BY SUCH A THING? MC WHO GENUINELY GETS SPOOKED BY THE PHANTOM RUMOURS? MC WHO, IN THE MOST LOONEY TUNES ASS SEQUENCE I'VE EVER SEEN, CHASES, THEN GETS CHASED BY DONNA INTO THE SET? MC WHO CONSIDERS SWITCHING COURSES BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY MIGHT'VE SEEN A GHOST. MC WHO INSTEAD OF COMMUNICATING WITH CASS ABOUT THE FALSE RUMOURS SPREAD BY THE STANS, HOLES UP IN THEIR DORM AND ASSUMES ALL IS LOST? MC WHO CAN'T EVEN WIN A FIGHT AGAINST *THE* GIRLFAILURE OF ALL TIME, MIA WINTERS? MC WHO DEVELOPS CRUSHES TWO SECONDS INTO MEETING EACH LOVE INTEREST?

DON'T YOU GET IT? I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE WHOSE OBSESSION WITH DONNA BENEVIENTO BORDERS ON LEGITIMATELY CONCERNING, MC IS MORE OF A GIRLFAILURE THAN ANY OF UR FAVS.

Miranda's never been this mad before...?

Resident Lover Masterlist

01-11: Set in the very first loop that MC lives through.

----------------------٩(◕‿◕｡)۶-----------------------

The music fades further away until it's inaudible as you ascend the stairs. You're unable to help the sigh of relief from coming out as a wheeze when you reach the rooftop's door.

"I think it should've been clear that I wanted to be alone."

The venom in her voice makes you stop in your tracks for a moment. Mia almost feels bad for the uncontrolled outburst, she stops just short of turning her whole body around to face you before suddenly remembering: You aren't who used to have your face anymore.

That one is gone.

You sigh, shutting the roof door behind you before taking forward, tentative steps. There's enough distance between you and Mia that she won't feel as though you're intruding on her space, but it's not so large as to let her pretend that you aren't there either. She continues staring up into the sky and you keep your eyes on her shoulders- They tell you that she's breathing shallow.

"I'm sorry." The words come out of your mouth and despite the tone of your voice, it doesn't feel sincere for either of you. A scoff leaves Mia's lips as you take steps to stand beside her by the rooftop's ledge. "You don't even know what you're apologizing for." Her tone is still dripping venom, but you don't feel as angry as you know you should be- You feel no anger at all.

"I know I'm sorry for whatever I did to have you hate me like this."

Mia's eyes meet yours for the first time ever. The silence lasts for a few moments and when she opens her mouth it seems that she doesn't know what to say, a funny thought crosses your mind and so you take it upon yourself to fill the air.

"On the bright side, this marks the very first time you've looked me in my eyes, you know?"

The tentative smile on your face fades when Mia's scowl is replaced by a deep frown instead. She immediately looks back towards the stars and you don't miss how her hands grip the ledge just a little harder than before. The current silence stretches further, and it feels just as suffocating as her anger which has now thankfully seemed to disappear. It feels as though ages pass in the quiet seconds between the two of you.

"I don't hate you."

It's now you who turns your head to her in surprise and you're about to open your mouth to ask for an explanation when Mia hastily beats you to it with a vague one. "You look too much like someone I lost."

"It's like their face is on the wrong body." She adds almost as an afterthought. You're unable to form words, how could you after a revelation like that? But you find out that you didn't have to after all, as Mia seems to be on autopilot after that statement.

"They could never have put up with your dorm situation, Angie and Daniela's combined rambunctiousness would've driven them to insanity worthy of the straightjacket treatment. They never would've joined a Sorority either and I wouldn't have dared trying to convice them or else they'd clock me over the head with a hardbound textbook."

Mia let's out a chuckle before continuing her rant. You hold your silence and let her speak, knowing she needs this. There isn't anything you can say that would make this easier for her anyways, so you opt to turn your body to face her. Letting her know in a silent way that you're listening.

"They never would've joined any clubs now that I think of it, they would much rather keep me company wherever if they weren't nose deep in some modern-fantasy, mythology-fantasy, medieval-fantasy, or whatever the fuck anything fantasy novel." She laughs fondly, her shoulders shaking with joy brought by memories before she shakes her head.

"They love the quiet life." Mia tells you with a forming smile that's gone as soon as she turns to look at who she's talking to out of habit. She turns her head in the opposite direction. "They loved the quiet life.."

-------------------------------------------------------

She is haunted by a ghost which breathes. A ghost which stands less than ten inches away from her, and Mia is not strong enough to meet it's eyes again.

Mia thinks to moments from long ago, spent with her best friend under a night sky just like this one. Her neck strains from the angle but she forces herself to hold still. She is haunted by a ghost with blood in its veins and it hurts Mia to know that she knows what this ghost's pulse feel like beneath her fingertips despite having never touched them yet.

The difference is that they would be making up silly stories about the stars visible for the night- "You can't even tell what I desperately need at fucking moment." She thinks bitterly, and with too much disdain that she knows she'll regret it in the future when she ends up remembering this moment someday.

Mia decides she'll apologize to them for this in the next letter she'll burn with the hopes that the wind will carry the ashes to wherever their actual soul is. Because the fake standing beside her cannot possibly be the piece of herself that she lost to someone more twisted than a pretzel.

-------------------------------------------------------

Your hand moves to gently rest on her shoulder of its own accord. You don't need a psychology degree to know that grief can be a dangerous thing to the one grieving, despite it being a natural and an unavoidable part of life.

The words that fall from your lips are whispered so tenderly, so softly- That you wonder for a moment if Mia even heard it.

"Would you like a hug?"

Your doubts vanish when Mia immediately shifts to all but throw her entire body weight into your arms, clinging so tightly that you feel pressure on your lower ribs. You cling to her just as tightly.

You don't know each other that well, or even at all- But you know that she needs this right now, so you cling to each other. Mia holds onto you like she's afraid you'll be gone if she drops even an ounce of the pressure, and you hold her as gently and as firmly as you can.

Mia's tears soak your shirt, her silent sobs wrack your bodies, and you let her grieve someone the has clearly loved and lost too soon.

"I know I could never be them-"

Her arms around your body tighten even more, and your hold on her loosens due to surprise.

"Please don't be... Please don't try to be them, just be. Just be, please?"

You don't understand why Mia's begging you for this so desperately, you can't understand why there's a different kind of urgency to her pleas that you can't figure out the reason of-

But she needs someone who isn't here anymore, and all you are is someone with a familiar face. So you let her grieve, and you try to soothe her even if you don't know why she begs you to swear it to her.

"Okay, I promise." Is all you can muster.

That night, Mia grieves in the arms of the ghost haunting her; And you make a promise you don't understand the importance of.

Sometimes MC doesn't even make it to the prologue

[guerim]

My friend on Twitter, her @ is @/whitelittlerat, did this art from resident lover. She doesn't have Tumblr but she is aware of this publication and let me post her art since we still don't have twitter in Brazil.

[meiquimesuei]

I may have not posted for a while, but here, have a crumb of Mia from an artwork that I do not have any plan to finish.

[thegoodending-thelasttime]

my reaction to the resident lover lore drop: part two

access the doc yourself here

spoilers utc

DONNA CONTD

i have a lot to say about the the donna and daniela relationship section, none of which i feel capable of putting into words for the time being. i will, however, say this.

"Donna is watching what could've been in regards to her past self when it comes to Dani and MC"

"Just sometimes [Donna] really wants to hit [Cassandra] you know?" i think a lot of people in the fandom know after Cass' infamous neutral ending

"She grieves but she lets herself live too." all the muscles in my face are convulsing

"Donna struggles to stand up for herself for a long portion of her route and only through the aid of MC will she start to show a little more of her backbone." Donna. i can help you be brave Donna. pick me. choose me. love me. (delusional 3)

"There is a brief scene in which Miranda and Donna are having tea while Donna has a complete and utter breakdown about just how on the edge she is. Miranda of course encourages her to keep spiraling..." miranda i'm going to get you.

"Donna is mentally unstable at this point and can either be sent into the abyss or helped out of the low point toward a brighter future." I CAN HELP YOU TOWARD A BRIGHTER FUTURE DONNA I SWEAR PLEASE (delusional 4)

Depression being a theme is just. I'm going to write a hurt/comfort fic about this.

and, "Destiny [Soulmates]" don't think I'm normal about that either. cuz i'm not.

the nursery being an allegory for Donna. my brain feels like a backyard and you're mowing it with a tiny little lawnmower.

"Hades and Persephone" words. in my mind.

glad that Donna fans unknowingly cracked phantom of the opera though, that's fun

"...she is not unwilling to lunge towards Miranda herself and brandish a weapon in her direction." she's so real for this

"Miranda has had to trigger the loop several times in reaction to a violent outburst of Donna’s." WOOOO YOU GO BABE. FUCK UP MIRANDA'S LIVES HELL YEAH

"MC shows unconditional and unwavering love towards someone with severe abandonment issues and gets a very attached flower shop owner for their troubles." SHUT UP MY HEART.

"...a small part of her is pleased to know she got the upper hand on Miranda. Donna’s ability to make MC explicitly reject Miranda has left the goddess incredibly pissed..." FUCK YEAH

"Post Donna Miranda is particularly cruel about how she treats the toxicologist and parades MC near her but never in reach." top five sentences that make you want to kill a cult leader

"LIKES: Stuffed Animals..." help i love her so much my heart really can't take this

"LIKES: Pranks. I’m sorry she’s a menace" i'll prank her back (by kissing her on the face)

"DISLIKES: Those really sad adoption commercials where they play ‘I Will Remember You’ while a slideshow of really sad puppies plays. They make her cry" NO DONNA POOKIE BEAR DON'T CRY COME HER LET ME HUG YOU

"DISLIKES: Miranda" OMG SHE DISLIKES MIRANDA TOO (shocker) !?!?! WE'RE SO SIMILAR WE SHOULD MARRY ACTUALLY

MIRANDA

MC and miranda being burned alive the first time around. man wtf

love that they were both canonically sickly victiorian children at one point

"Death penalty for sodomy" that actually has me so fucked up. how could you do this to me

"[MC] Drowned, Miranda was nearby but chose not to save them" WHAT WHY

"Mia got mad and threw a stone at MC" i would get mad too if i saw someone repeatedly fall for miranda over the course of multiple timelines

"Miranda ran MC over in an accident" HELP 💀

miranda really fell for the unluckiest motherfucker goddamn. tom and jerry ass

"Yes + Mia" "No + Mia" best way to word this. i will be using these from now on. ask me a yes/no question i dare you.

"This life is when the very first iteration of Eva is born and it completely changes Miranda’s soul as a confounding variable in their soulmate-hood" oh my GOD. i'm a little scared miranda's section might be making me start to like her a little.. NO I REFUSE. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.

"Toxic Yuri + Loving" thank you Cinder. i appreciate you for your silliness.

really wish we got more eva content but oh well. maybe in the dlc content the team said would probably come out in a few years/maybe more

"Mia’s soul has slowly changed over time and has grown to naturally despise Miranda’s soul for its unwitting part in MCs death every life" nvm i like Mia infinitely more than miranda

"Mia acts as a foil to Miranda’s relationship in every life they meet because she is - without fail - naturally resistant to them being together and highly suspicious of the way Miranda behaves" FUCK MOTHER MIRANDA ALL MY HOMIES HATE MOTHER MIRANDA. MIA'S A REAL ONE.

"[Bela and Miranda] would be insane if they worked together, but unfortunately, they are narratively designed to be pitted against each other" i disagree i think it's very fortunate they're not on the same team

"Miranda is afraid of [Donna] because she remembers every single time loop... Donna is also handy with sharp objects and has been known to attempt a few murders at meetings when pushed..." fuck yeah. be afraid miranda.

"...views Donna as “cursed” due to her family history of deaths" can i say kys just this once (to miranda).

"Intrinsically offended when MC chose Donna during the loop" be offended. L + bozo + cry about it + Donna's better

"[Donna and Miranda have] used each other as crutches in moments of weakness... they used to have regular tea together in which they would act out their familial roles and encourage each other further down their spirals" i'm actually not okay rn thanks for asking!

...that legitimately has me so fucked up

"Miranda actively encourages Donna’s fears to keep her under control..." "She would kill Angie to both punish Donna and to relieve herself of the annoyance" hey miranda come here. what do you mean, i don't have anything in my pocket. don't worry about it just come here. so i can... hug you. SHANKS YOU MIA STYLE BUT IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS TIME SHANKS YOU MIA STYLE BUT IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS TIME SHANKS YOU MIA STYLE BUT IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS TIME

"Miranda and MC are soulmates, all the way up to their 19th life this is 100% proven and true (even though they don't always get to meet) but the 20th life is different because Miranda is still in her 19th. It could be argued that MCs soulmate is who 20th Miranda was supposed to be. (Could've been if a coin had been flipped)." I'M ACTUALLY HYPERVENTILATING RIGHT NOW THANK YOU FOR FEEDING USTHANKYOU MY HEART OH MY FUCKIUNG GOD ASDFGUIHUADSDHLFKAJHSDFKLGJHDAFKJG. I BANGED ON MY DESK THAT'S NOT EVEN A JOKE WHAT THE ACTUASL FUCK

"MC would go into divorce arc which is salvageable but very long winded" need yall to elaborate on this, also it made me giggle

"The only exceptions are Mia (who told Miranda to fuck off), Bela (who still remembered), and Angie (who doesn’t listen to anybody)." that's so based of all of them. naming them the based squad for this.

"DISLIKES: Her height being mentioned" i don't care if it's a low blow and that she's actually one inch taller than me. i'll call her short. short ass. imagine being 5'6" lmao

part three coming up

[jas-the-shrimp]

I don't think Miranda's gonna let that slide -

Idk I have so many versions of the light because, well because idk how to do lights LMAOOO, but , so sorry for putting you all through this mia, it's nothing personal 🫶🫶🫶

[itsmewahoo]

this was funnier in my head

she stopped using poison knives in future loops

[mashup-writing]

Food for thought for a Mia Route:

I know that we all love pitching in possible unhinged comedic scenarios because Mia is a Girl-Loser when put in a 1v1 against our other LIs.

But has anyone ever considered the possibility that MC has never ever ever ever picked Mia across any of the past resets? And what if MC has never actually had any romantic feelings for Mia in their first life, but Mia is/has always been the "Pine after my bestie in torturous silence" kinda gay?

What if a possible Mia playthrough will be the very first time across all the resets + OG timeline that MC ever ends up with Mia? Can y'all imagine the possibility for gutwrenching ANGST?!

It took forgetting "Us" for you to choose Mia?

The possible existential crisis Mia may have over wanting her OG bestie back vs. Wanting a future with the current reincarnation.

The possible existential crisis Mia may have over MC having the face of the person she had wanted all those years ago, yet not being the same person anymore. The person she had loved for so long is dead and never coming back...

Mia dropping an inside joke that OG!MC and her used to laugh about all the time, but Current MC doesn't get it at all and Mia has to settle for a "Meh, nevermind numbskull" while feeling her heart shatter into a million itty bitty pieces.
